Hello there!

Welcome to Jenny Allsorts, my cheery little blog! Hello! I'm Jenny... illustrator, designer, and generally artsy craftsy person, and this is where I share projects, ideas and such, and natter on about this and that. I love all things stitchy, papery and vintage. Pull up a comfy chair and have a cup of tea!

A little flag waving

This year we celebrated the Fourth on the Third, to accommodate the work schedule of two family members which we couldn't do without. As mentioned earlier, the house was duly festooned...

A fantastic strawberry pie by our niece Alison was consumed (among a lot of other items).

And we spent the afternoon on the porch, watching the kids play in a goofy sprinkler thing, shoot each other (and us) with water pistols and set off the most benign "fireworks" I've ever seen.

But seriously, today is all about the celebration of the birth of America, and lately I've been very conscious of the sacrifices of the men and women who step up to serve this country. Many pay the ultimate price for the freedom that we all enjoy. I salute and thank you and your families...
